Video Review: Callaway X Series Jaws Wedge

Written by  James Cornish on Wednesday, 11 May 2011

This wedge has been designed, as all the Callaway clubs are nowadays, by perhaps the most famous wedge designer working today - Roger Cleveland. This is a new model for 2011. 


Some of the key features include the lovely smooth, slate finish on the club head. It's really an anti-glare style finish, but because it's quite a dull, matte style as well it just frames the ball very nicely at address.

The head itself is made from a 1020 forged carbon steel, which provides a wonderfully soft strike as you meet the golf ball.

Some of the other features include this wonderful contoured sole. I find this really helps me play from all sorts of lies: from tight, hard-panned surfaces through to quite thick, heavy rough, and also perhaps 10- or 20-yard bunker shots. 

Working up from the club head through the shaft, Callaway have fitted a top quality dynamic gold True Temper shaft in this club. Being fairly tip-heavy, it helps you really feel where the club head is through the swing.

Also very importantly - and something that many golfers do perhaps overlook with their clubs - the grip. It's your only point of contact with the golf club, so all the feel for the shaft up through the fingers comes via the grip. Callaway have opted to fit a real top-quality Crossline style soft rubber compound grip on this club.

 

What The Web is Saying

 

"Lovely looking club, with meaty weight to it and will sit well with those who playing Callaway X-22 irons or similar. those playing more refined heads might be put off by the rather fussy clubhead." - golfmagic.com
